Tips to avoid phone scams
- If you do not know a number, do not answer the phone.
- Do not give personal information, including Social Security numbers, passwords, common answers to security questions like where you went to school or your mother’s maiden name, account numbers to unexpected calls. Verify the authenticity of the caller before giving any information.
- If you do accidentally answer a call from an unknown number, hang up. Do not answer questions with “Yes.”
- If you receive a call from someone who says they are from a bank or company, you can hang up the call and then call the number found on the company’s website.
- If you are expecting a call where you may have to exchange personal information over the phone, ask the person ahead of time what number they will be calling from.
- You can report unwanted calls to the Federal Trade Commission.
